WHY WE LOVEZADAR ARCHIPELAGO

Korčula Island is easy to love. It is a place with a rich and complex history, wonderful geographical location, epic caves perfect for exploration. It is also an island known for its beauty and delicious food and wine.

Korčula has a curious history, it is an island that has been under the control of many different leaders from many different nations, all of which helped shape the island’s landscape and culture. Everyone from Illyrians to the Greeks, to the Venetians, and later the Austrians held power over this small island. Napoleon and Russia struggled for authority over the island until the British came and left their mark as well. Korčula Island is a place where history lives on and through its people. The Croats living on Korčula pride themselves on their love of tradition and life.

The island life is full of celebrations, festivals, and dancing.

This paradise is also home to the unique Grk wine. Grk has a distinctive taste and smell, somewhat dry with a mildly sour and bitter finish. Apart from its flavour and aroma, what makes this wine so special is that its vines only bloom female flowers, this means that for the flower to pollinate it requires a mate and or make counterpart. Late summer is a beautiful season in this region, it is where you will find white Grk grapes and their female flowers growing alongside the deep blue Plavac mali grapes their male flowers.

There are many sporting events with incredible scenery. Korčula hosts everything from triathlons to boat racing. Not to mention the island might be small, but it features peaks and trails perfect for hiking, running, and biking.

Petra is known as the ‘Rose City’ in southern Jordan

This historical and archaeological site is famous for its rock-cut architecture and water conduit system. Visit Petra and witness its strikingly coloured city, with impressive buildings carved into sandstone canyons. This architecture dates back to the third century BC and is one of the New Seven World Wonders.

WHY WE LOVEPETRA

The Treasury, also known as Al-Khazneh, is one of the most popular and well-known sites found within this Jordanian region. This makes sense considering it is one of the most elaborate temples of the ancient Arabic World and is located within a stunning rose-coloured desert. But the beauty doesn’t end there, there’s also a location called ‘Little Petra’. This smaller version of the famous city is also an archaeological site that was built by the Nabateans. Don’t let its name fool you; Little Petra is home to some major buildings and sandstone canyons. The area consists of three open areas connected by a 450-metre (1,480 ft) canyon.

Visit Petra which is home to magnificent scenes and locations.

Petra as a whole has managed to astound travellers and archaeologist alike. Despite its impressive age, the city has continued to ‘wow’ all those who visit it with its elaborate stone-cut architecture and water conduit system. The magnificent city displays the full range of the ancient Nabataeans wondrous talents. They converted everything into art. Everything from the development of water infrastructure within the arid area to the design of the Treasury, and its perfect alignment with the Sun, shines light on the complexity and astounding mastery of the ancient desert people. Water infrastructure included terraces, channels, settling basins, aqueducts, dams, rainwater harvesting, flood harvesting, groundwater harvesting, a large range of size and types of cisterns, reservoirs created by dams, water distribution tanks, and springs. Throughout the Petra area there are hundreds of cisterns. They were one of the only people capable of bringing water to such a unique surrounding. You owe your body and eyes a visit to Petra, as well as your mind and spirit. Therefore, we suggest you educate yourself on what daily life was like for Petra’s thriving multicultural, multi-ethnic and multilingual society and peoples by talking to the Bedouins of the area. Share a tea and marvel at the wonder that is Petra.

A 2014 study, published in the Nexus Network Journal, led by a team of archaeoastronomers who measured Petra´s celestial alignments suggest that the Nabateans purposefully built Petra's most sacred structures to align or ‘light-up’ during important celestial occurrences such as the summer and winter solstices and the equinoxes.
